Little Rosebud

Thanks for the wonderful comments and input on the Saturday Shadows rose, all

Moira, the desaturation came from a filter/effect I’d used in Snapseed. I’d downloaded a free 15-day demo and was messing about with it

Actually, today’s V1 was processed using Snapseed as well.

V2 is the straight-from-cam shot taken a couple of days ago. I find the whites in the back a bit distracting, to be honest. The whites are the fully opened roses. The buds are pink but the flowers are pure white…

…which you can see in V3. I did a quick grab (V3) this evening as a reference shot to show you all the full roses.

The bud itself was only little (about 1.5cm long) and I had to use an extension tube to get near enough. Cute little thing, huh? Speaking of which, congrats to the happy couple on their royal little bundle

These are stunning Andrew, soooooo pretty. The rose bud is to me a perfect rose...... just like an Iced one on a cake, or one of those edible paper ones:D
I dont think the white bg is destracting at all.... shows a great exposure:D
